Pakistan reverses ban on Taiwanese airlines just hours after announcing restrictions
- Pakistan initially banned Taiwanese airlines from its airspace to support China's One-China policy, which claims Taiwan as Chinese territory.
- Defence Minister Khawaja Asif confirmed the restriction, making Pakistan the first country reportedly to take such a step.
- Taiwan's China Airlines and EVA Air had rerouted flights through Russia, increasing travel time and operating costs.
- • Pakistan reversed the decision within hours, allowing both airlines to use its airspace until March 2027.
